Re: 1972 GMC Jimmy PENNY
Thanks for checking in! I think this is most likely the rig I am gonna cruise on the Power Tour. I need new exhaust before that and we are ready

Re: 1972 GMC Jimmy PENNY
Thanks for checking in! I appreciate the kind words. Let me know if you ever want to get together and cruise, there aren't many of us 67-72 guys up here in the mountains.

Re: 1972 GMC Jimmy PENNY
Tracked down this super hard to find part thanks to Joes Junk. Not much else on progress, just driving it as much as I can. I think new front tires are next on the list.

Re: 1972 GMC Jimmy PENNY
You can see the core support was hanging on by a thread. I’ll be sure to blast and Powdercoat it while it’s out

Re: 1972 GMC Jimmy PENNY
Any chance you recall the part number and vendor of the water pump? Lots of surface area for the lower radiator hose. I like that. I just got a Gates brand example and it has much less surface area for the hose.

Re: 1972 GMC Jimmy PENNY
Almost ready for startup. I had to do some rework on my new exhaust. I ended up replacing my manifolds which triggered changing the front portion of my exhaust from 2 1/4” to 2 1/2”. Hopefully one more days work and I’ll be ready under the hood

Re: 1972 GMC Jimmy PENNY
Also need a little finish work on my wire routing / vacuum lines so don’t look too closely
Here is the last project for this round.... fixing my cut dash. I’ve got my patch panel ready to go in, just need to finish cutting out the old section in the center. I also took my glovebox door to the paint store and had them color match the paint for me so I can repaint the dash the correct color once I’m done. Then it’ll be time to install the new am/fm and drive this old girl

Got the dash final painted today. All that’s left is final assembly and drive

Re: 1972 GMC Jimmy PENNY
Finally, 8 months after starting on this little project, she moved under her own power again. I need have my carb rebuilt and do some final adjusting, install my ac brackets, and finish putting my dash together. But at least she’s back home!
